We are long past knitting RAM. You should go with the times. Development speed is key nowadays. People literally dont care about speed. If they did, Amazon & Facebook were long gone.

What does that mean?

I find I develop faster when I am not waiting on a bunch of unnecessary nonsense that is only present to supplement untrained developers. For example I can refactor an absolutely massive application in around 2 hours if I have end to end tests that execute in seconds and everything is defined as well organized interfaces.

You cannot develop fast if everything you touch is slow.

I am really not interested in develops inventing wild guesses.

  • You live in a dream world if you think this is how apps are built in the industry... None of the apps I have worked on had tests or even up to date dependencies.

    • There are people who build things and those who bitch about it. It does not matter if something is dreamy, because there is a cost to every action. Those costs always add up.
